The “JeSuis” hashtag (“I am” in French) has become a go-to hashtag when showing solidarity with victims of terrorist attacks. The trend started with #JeSuisCharlie, after Islamic terrorists attacked the offices of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris, France.

Today, #JeSuisCatholique (I am Catholic) and #JeSuisPretre (I am priest) were trending on Twitter as people showed solidarity with Catholics and priests after an elderly priest, Fr. Jacques Hamel, had his throat slit by Islamic State terrorists shortly after morning Mass in his rural parish of St Etienne du Rouvray just outside of Normandy.
